Day 36 Vandeventer Shelter 18 miles

Today, Rash and I headed out of Black Bear Resort. I had the best sleep that I have had in a month. There was no one in the bunk house, an awesome TV room, hot showers, and amazingly friendly owners.

We made it 18 miles in today thinking we were alone on the trail only to be joined about an hour later by the Colorado boys and there gang of eight. Shortly after, we were joined by Matt and Mike who I thought were days ahead of us. It turns out that Smuggles, coffee pot and Tarzan all stayed at the hostel 18 miles back and took a zero.

A day after the ice and snow everything had melted. The morning was pretty cloudy but cleared up as the day progressed.
